We’ve seen movies about the old school of something going against the new school of something, but we haven’t seen that done all that much in the world of magic. Well, that’s what next year’s The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is going for, and there’s now a trailer for it, which you can watch below.

Steve Carell stars as the titular magician who’s partners with another one played by Steve Buscemi, them being the biggest draw of the Vegas strip with their tricks even if behind the scenes their relationship’s become a bit fractured. All of that comes into play when the new hip magician, played by Jim Carrey, comes into town and threatens to destroy their careers, unless they can get their acts together, both on-stage and off. Like I said, it’s a story we’ve seen done before, but never in this setting, not to mention the cast assembled for this one looks amazing.

Les Misérables is a bit too over-the-top and pompous, but it’s still seriously well-made, with a passion and energy that translates to the performances (with one critical omission) even if it doesn’t always do the same with the vocals. Read my review for it here.

Zero Dark Thirty, Kathryn Bigelow’s follow-up to The Hurt Locker is an undeniable masterpiece, a film that’s both disturbing and 100% necessary, the most vital film about post-9/11 America. Read my review for it here.
